Slabs were on this morning
« on: Feb 07, 2016, 02:43 PM »
Started a little late This morning,wanted good light to check ice conditions.
Overall ice was decent,8-10" mostly white over 4-5" solid black,with a nice slush layer under the snow.
Fortunately,I didn't have to hunt them down, marked fish in first hole,so just Swiss chzd a ten foot radius and lucked out!! Love it when that happens.
Caught a bunch of shorts,and kept these for the freezer.

Nice haul Stick! What a day to.be out there, especially on the bite. Great pics!
May God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true.
May you always do for others and let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung,
May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift.
May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful, may your songs always be sung.
May you stay forever young.

Very Nice. I did the same. Cleaned them up and gave the fillets away. Eagles are feeding on the remains.

Awesome catch man! Cool to see the artificials are successful. Were they picky about color at all? Hoping to get on some crappie and white perch  by the end of the season myself.

Thanks. They were loving the pink sexi shad today!! The bluegill bubbling shaker picked off two,but mostly it was ignored.

Very nice catch.
Fishing is like playing at Carnegie Hall, when your good your good. But do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall? PRACTICE!
